Bumble and Bumble BB Creme De Coco Conditioner

I have been steady watching Game of Thrones but currently on a break. I made it to the Red Wedding which is further than I usually get. And then the purple wedding. I remember watching the red wedding for the first time, I remember where I was, how I was sitting...really just everything about it. And I remember the shock that had me gaping, staring open mouthed in shock at what happened. That scene is probably the most shocking thing I had seen on TV. I had to google it and make sure I had actually watched the right show. I thought someone was playing a cruel joke on me. I just knew Rob Stark would lead us (I become a character of whatever show I'm watching in my mind) to victory.  When Ned Stark died I was also stunned but nothing like the feelings of watching that. I don't think any other TV show has been as memorable as some of the Game of Throne shows (season 1-4).  I sure do miss that show. I don't think TV will ever be as good again. 

But anyway...we are here to talk conditioner.

I reviewed the shampoo a little while back but I wanted to give the conditioner more use before I gave my official review on it. As you can see, I really went for it and bought the largest size- 33.8 ounce. It's a monster. I guess I just really didn't want to buy anymore conditioner for awhile? And it was on sale as well as I had a gift card. So I got it for a good price.

I didn't like the shampoo. For my hair type, it is just too drying  and the conditioner doesn't put back enough moisture. . So I don't use them together. I use them with other things...they just don't make a good pairing for me. 

I think it's decent though when using it with a hydrating shampoo. It does need time to do its thing. I can't just slap it on, let it sit a minute and rinse. My hair needs a minimum of an hour. Longer if I want to use it to detangle. Of which it does OK with that. It doesn't provide much "slip" but with the right brush I can deal. 

It's a very thick texture. Takes a bit to spread it. And that's OK. I like a thick conditioner. It always just seems it will work better. It's easy to rinse out. And it leaves my hair feeling....OK. Nothing to write home about. I will say that even though it has heavy oils it doesn't coat or weigh down my hair. My hair seems lightweight, curls are clumped, slightly elongated and looks healthy/shiny. 

The bottle I bought did not come with a pump- one of the first things I did was buy the pump though. Handling the bottle without a pump wasn't great. I don't recommend. I will keep the pump long after the conditioner is gone, just in case I buy a different type of conditioner in a large bottle. That way I don't have to buy it again. I think it was $3.00 off Amazon. I'm ok with having to buy it separate. I think pumps are harder to recycle so not including it on every bottle might save the earth plastic. Or at least that's what I assume. I think I am also saving plastic by buying the economical large bottle. I hope. I'll still put it in the recycle when I finally use it up. I've had it almost forever and still have half a bottle left. 

Almost forgot to mention the scent. At first I was disappointed in the scent. I thought it smelled like Suave. Really it smells so much better than Suave. Some coconut scents can smell a little sour- not this though. It's a more complex tropical coconut scent that smells bubbly and clean. I really enjoy the scent. I kinda wish it lasted longer in my hair. 

The ingredients are OK. It has a lot of fun butters lower down in the list. We have coconut oil/extract, lady's thistle extract, mallow, meadow foam seed oil, murumuru butter and on and on. It has a lot of stuff that I believe it great for the hair. I don't think it is in large amounts but all those oils and butter don't weight down my hair. And most importantly- no silicones. I will sometimes buy a lotion or moisturizer with silicones ( I always complain about it too) but no hair products. Unless it's a heat protectant. 

Ingredients:

Water\Aqua\Eau, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Stearalkonium Chloride, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Silybum Marianum (Lady's Thistle) Extract, Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Extract, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Aleurites Moluccana (Kukui) Seed Oil, Ximenia Americana Seed Oil, Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail) Extract, Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Leaf Extract, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Polyquaternium-59, Butylene Glycol, Vinegar\Acetum\Vinaigre, Tocopherol, BHT, Citric Acid, Fragrance (Parfum), Limonene, Linalool, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol <ILN49419>

Overall, it's not bad. It's not the best conditioner I have ever used in my hair- but pair it with the right shampoo and it's quite pleasant to use. I don't think I would repurchase though...I can say I don't regret buying this great big old bottle.
